What volume (not weight) of seed does it hold?

I don't know the exact amount in volume except to say I've never found a feeder that will hold as much. I fill it with sunflower chips (seeds without the shells) and all my birds love it - goldfinches, black capped chickadees, tufted titmouse, cardinals, numerous varieties of woodpeckers... and in the winter, even the wrens and sometimes the juncos.

You can have mine. Only small shelled sunflower seeds will fit through the mesh. Those with their hulls will not. Such seed is much more expensive, and the price difference is only worthwhile if you are feeding over a patio or some area that must remain hull-free.The product description says "Hold up to 6-7-pound of black oil sunflower, hulled sunflower, or sunflower mixes". The weight is probably right, but only hulled sunflower will ever get through the mesh.

the openings (there are 3 of them) are infinitely adjustable. I havnt tried any small light weight seeds in mine but it works like gang busters on weed-n-feed, insect control, and fertilizer. Much, much, much better than the cheep plastic ones you get at Lowes or home depot.

Quite a bit. I put about 5 capfuls into 8 Lbs of seed. The squirrels really don't like it but the birds keep coming. Great stuff.

The seed does not get stuck when it rains. With the exception of the small amount in the tray surrounding the feeder, the bulk of it stays dry inside the feeder.

It can hold 15lbs per side per hanger arm according to the enclosed instructions/guidelines. I have some pretty hefty recycled plastic feeders that hold 10lbs of seed and it has no problem with them at all.

I have a bird feeder that holds 10 lbs of bird seed and I've had no problem, very sturdy I definitely recommend it.

It is about 12" in the area that holds the seed. We find that it is just right for our yard, doesn't hang too low on the post we have it on and yet supplies the finches with plenty of seed.

It has a plastic regulator that limits seed to opening. It is very functional.

I am not sure. We use it for bird seed and have not noticed the weight of the bag. Sorry.

I get the giant bag of sunflower seeds at Fred Meyer here in Alaska. I think it's a 20 or 25 pound bag. The sunflower seeds work great in it. Anything smaller and it would fall out. Hope that helps!

Hi Allison, I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. My seeds never grow up.

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

The top of the feeder pulls off very easily. There is a spring inside that prevents it from falling off completely. You can pour the seed in the top after removing it. I use a #10 tin can to fill it.

It holds a lot , maybe 12 cups or more. I stopped using the feeder because the squirrels ate most of the seeds.

I estimate the Stokes Select holds a little over a quart of seed. Unless we have an unusually large number of finches feeding, we rarely fill the feeder more than halfway full. It is working out well for us.

I don't know the limit but I have hung a feeder full of seed that weighed at least 10 pounds with no problem. My guess is that it will handle 20 pounds as long as the item you clamp it to will not give way.

The diameter of the hole for pole mounting this feeder is 3/4 inches. The feeder is approximately 4 lbs, and holds 11 lbs of seed, so the pole used to hold this feeder would need to be strong enough to support this amount of weight.
